the dark type switch in is kind of the only good thing it's useful for, though. battlers nowadays wouldn't go near a lucario with that. steadfast is good because it's speed rises and the steel typing prevents air slash take down. besides, you can counter togekiss with bullet punch and get free speed

i think that you should be able to get riley's lucario post game in dp remakes. it would have something like a battle bond ability that enables it to have perfect coordination with it's trainer and to be able to dodge attacks and stuff if you're friendly to it.
